The week in retrospect

Once again I have been very slack in the posting stakes, the only excuse being that I have been exceptionally busy.

Last weekend saw me working Friday night and then jumping on a plane to Dubbo early Saturday morning after work for a surprise 40th birthday party for my brother which went off really well. This was a big thing in my family as you can NEVER keep anything secret ... lol But this time they managed and he had no idea at all which was great. My sister even managed to find our brothers best friend from school who he had not seen in 20 years, so that was a huge surprise as well.

I was off on course again this week, EMSB (Emergency Management of Severe Burns), or the BBQ as the students nick named it. A very good course aimed at teaching us a bit more then the basics we already knew and how we can best look after a burned patient when we are out at sea and away from definitive care, where there will be a delay in getting the patient to a proper burns unit. Very worth while.

Acting class is going well and next week we all have to get up in front of the rest of the class and deliver our monolgue. This is the week where we have to have all our words down... scary. Only a couple more weeks till the big day ...... gulp. The big day is Tuesday the 10th of July and anyone can come along and watch. So if anyone is interested then just let me know. Heckling not allowed.... lol

One more week of work ont he ship and then I am blessidly on leave for four weeks before I start work down the coast. So looking forward to some time off. Callum, my son, will be coming up for the first week as it thankfully coinsides with the Victorian school holidays. I will have him for his 12th birthday which will be awesome. He is very excited about the plane trip back as he will be able to fly as an adult and not as an unaccompanied minor. He hates being down the back of the plane with the women as he calls the hosties. lol

That's the update for now, take care of yourselves...

Si
